So How Many People Participated in the 2019 CrossFit Open?

The ninth year of the CrossFit Open wrapped-up last week. The verification process is well underway, but while we wait for the final results to be tallied, here’s a breakdown of who participated in the 2019 CrossFit Open.

Registrations: Athletes can technically still register until the last day of the Open. In fact, 1240 athletes registered after the close of 19.1 through the close of 19.5.

Total Male Sign Ups: 204,853

Total Female Sign Ups: 153,793

Total Sign Ups: 358,646

Participation: Because athletes can switch between Rx and scaled from week to week, it makes tabulating absolute participation a little more challenging.

Total athletes submitting 1+ scores: 341,501

This number is unbelievably high; that amounts to 95% of registered athletes logging at least one workout. Naturally, far fewer completed all five weeks Rx.

Total males submitting 5 Rx scores: 94,716

Total females submitting 5 Rx scores: 49,560

Total: 144,276

Week by week Open participation breakdown.

﻿

Week 1’s participation was highest with 327,413 athletes logging scores. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise as 19.1 included rowing and wall balls, two very inclusive movements.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that 19.5 was the least popular in terms of participation, both because it’s the final workout and because of the 105 thrusters: 255,765 athletes logged a score

The fewest percentage of athleteschose to do 19.2 Rx: 74.4 % for men and 53.20% fewer than 19.5’s couplet of thrusters and chest-to-bar. Bear in mind, these percentages are based off number of athletes who completed that workout not of total registrants.
